Last week I was reading an editorial by Bill Lockyer in the LA Times. Besides the whole thing being a crock about how the Democrats in Sacramento have complete control over what is going on, the State Treasurer made an interesting observation.

Bill Lockyer said "Companies build new facilities, and move or close other facilities, all the time." [California's Demise is Greatly Exaggerated. Bill Lockyer. Los Angeles Times.12/20/10.] The state treasurer is only hinting on the problem and talking about companies moving in and out of the state. What he does not consider is all the small businesses through out the state who did not have the cash reserves to make such a transition. Many of these small businesses were forced to close because the over-regulation of businesses in the state of California.

Mr. State Treasurer, I urge you to take another look at California's business climate and do something to help the small businesses.

California is still in a jumbled mess. Pretty soon it will be time to vote for a new governor. On one hand we have a successful business candidate and on the other, a professional politician who has already held the position.

If voters are any good at deciding elections, they will probably pick the lesser of the two. That being said it is scary to think Jerry Brown might be our next governor. A Democrat in the Governors seat would only open the flood canals of Democratic spending. With higher spending comes high taxes, something Dems have no problem passing along.

Now is not the time for more taxes though. The economy is slowing soothing into a depression and more taxes are not the way to revive the economy. Government will continue to spend and waste tax payers money. That is why its very important we elect the business friendly candidate this fall and that candidate is Meg Whitman.
